+ Pylades killing Oeax and Nausimedon

[galusandmalus]

never forget pylades also has hands bro slimed out nauplius boys when they tried to go after him and his nepobaby boyfriend "MEN. Who of the citizens thus contend to drive thee from the land? ORES. Oeax, imputing to my father the hatred which arose on account of Troy. MEN. I understand. The death of Palamedes takes its vengeance on thee. ORES. In which at least I had no share — but I perish by the three. MEN. But who else? Is it perchance one of the friends of Aegisthus? ORES. They persecute me, whom now the city obeys." -euripides

"There in the pictures is Orestes killing Aegisthus, and Pylades killing the sons of Nauplius who had come to bring Aegisthus succor" -Pausanias, Description of Greece

i don't consider libya as part of morciamythos (← term i use for my overall interpretation of mythology and its events, etc.) but she's fun as a concept. maybe moreso if you're like me and hc that she looks like her papa palamedes

libya visits ithaca post-odyssey and odysseus is jumpscared by a lady with a striking similarity to his archenemy / victim back at troy and – oh, what's this? she's his daughter??? huh. odysseus is more surprised that her existence implies a woman liked palamedes enough for that. and so another ghost joins the fray in haunting him

on the other hand, the a la atreides of it all would be interesting. palamedes, oeax and nausimedon leave for war when she's a child and only her uncles come back home. and by then, her grandfather has already taken a long-winded revenge for palamedes' death, but his absence continues to be a presence, the outline of his corpse is still there. and it's not fun looking like a dead man because now the family is mourning palamedes by pretending he's still there through libya; nauplius / clymene spoil her and try to shape her into their son, oeax / nausimedon rely on her too much and think she can take on the duties their eldest brother did. sometimes a daughter is her own father
